GWMETT SHERIFF
AND DEPUTIES FREE
IN DRT LAW CASE
An indictment charging Sheriff
E. S. Garner, of Gwinnett county,
and his four deputies, Howard Gar
ner, J. M. Bernard, L. T. Wages
and Lum Brown, with conspiracy to
transport, possess and barter whisky
in violation of the national prohi
bition law was quashed Monday
morning in federal district court
here when Judge Samuel H. Sibley
sustained a demurrer filed by the
defense attorneys.
Judge Sibley refused at this time
to allow the government to put the
five defendants on trial on another
joint indictment, in which they are
charged with conspiring to bribe a
government officer. He based his
ruling on the tact that the case was
not on the calendar.
In sustaining the demurrer to the
other Indictment, Judge Sibley ruled
that it was ‘ too general.”
“This is a novel case,Judge Sib
ley said. “Here we have a case
against officers of the Igiw, who, as
such officers can under certain cir
cumstances, under both the state and
federal prohibition laws, lawfully
possess and transport whisky. The
case on (hose two points therefore
dissolves itself into a question of the
unlawfulness of their alleged act.
True, they cannot legally barter for
whisky, but that point will be rather
difficult to prove.
“I believe the indictment is too
general. TtTails to recite specifc of
fenses, and is more an allegation of
iaw than of fact.”

One of State’s Largest;
Will Diversify Crops
MOULTRIE, Oct. 20.—A system
of mixed farming will be followed
on the McPhaul plantation in Worth
county next year, according to L.
J. McPhaul, who is in charge of the
operations on the place. The farm is
one of the largest in Georgia and
heretofore cotton has been practi
cally the sole crop. Mr. McPhaul
states that every tenant on the plan
tation will be required to keep a
few cows and a number of chickens.
A large acreage will be given to to
bacco. Only that land that is unus
ually well adapted to cotton will be
planted in it, and it will be produced
under the best approved methods of
weevil control.
A number of other big south
Georgia farmers have also an
nounced their intention to break
away from the one crop system,
though their problem is admitted by
farm experts to be more difficult
than that faced by the small farmer,
because of the aversion of tenants
and negroes to any crop save cot
ton.

H. 0. GARREIT GETS
FIVE-YEAR SENTENCE
ON MUCK
CUMBERLAND COURT HOUSE,
Va., Oct. 20. —(By the Associated
Press.) —A verdict of second degree
murder, with the minimum punish
ment of five years in the state pen
itentiary, was returned late today
by the jury in the trial of R. O.
Garrett, Cumberland county clerk,
for the killing last June K of the
Rev. E. S. Pierce, Baptist minister.
A motion to set aside the verdict,
as contrary to law and evidence and
for various other causes, was imme
diately made by the defense, and
Judge B. D: White announced he
would hear arguments on the too
tion in Richmond, November 22.
Pending the outcome of this ar
gument, losing whiclY the case would
be appealed to the higher court,
Garrett was released on bond of
$35,000. The state, through Com
monwealth Attorney Milton P. Bon
ifant and Attorney Richard Evelyn
Byrd, opposed granting bond in any
amount when counsel for the pris
oner moved for renewal of the old
bond of $25,000. Judge White, how
eevr, stated he would permit a bond,
but increased the amount by SIO,OOO.
Th* verdict today of the jury
which was brought here from
I Southampton county under a change
I of venire. granted at the request of
j the date, brings to an end for the
} present the trial phase of a case
I that has been regarded as one of
I the most stubbornly fought and one
I of the most remarkable in the his-
I lory ot Virginia. The jury delib
! erated just two hours and thirty
minutes, and predictions of another
hung jury were being freely made
when the jurors came into court and
asked to be told the penalty for
conviction of murder in the sonoad
degree.
Second Trial
Further consideration by the
jury, it was understood, was over
the question of the number of years.
The trial had been in progress
since last Tuesday morning and was
the second time that Robert Gar
rett had been put on trial for his
life as a result of the shooting to
death of the Baptist minister at
his home here, for which both he
and his younger brother, Larkin C.
Garrett, were indicted for first de
gree murder. The latter also was
once brought to trial, his case end
ing in a mistrial after it was al
leged three members of the jury,
before going into the jury box. ex
pressed opinions on the case. His
case has been set for retrial De
cember 11. The jury in Robert Gar
rett’s first trial came from Amherst
county, Judge White having decided
after the Larkin Garrett mistrial
that it would not be possible to ob
tain a fair and impartial . jury in
Cumberland because of the two fac
tions in the county and which were
said to involve most of the citizens
of Cumberland.. The state, which,
has asked the change in venire,
also had requested a change in
venue, but this was denied in each
case.
i j Jury Contest Made
1 Judge White’s action in sending
outside the county for a jury is one
of the chief grounds upon which
the defense bases its motion for
setting aside the verdict. It claims
the court had no such right until
every effort had been made to ob
tain a jury from Cumberland. In
structions and the charge to the
jury also were other bases for the
motion. The motion was made by
Louis O. Wendenberg.
-The Garrett, trial was fought with
four lawyers for the prosecution
and three for the defense. Attorneys
R. E. Byrd, R. 11. Mann. G. B.
White and Commonwealth’s Attor
ney M. F. Bonifant, of Powhatan,
prosecuted the case and Attorneys
L. O. Wendenburg, H. M. Smith and

i defense.

(ieu of military service is being con
sidered by Representative A. S.
Bussey, of Crisp county, author of a
tax reform bill ,to be introduced at
the extraordinary session of the

month.
Mr. Bussey, who resides in Cor
dele, was in Atlanta Friday. He
said the tax would be levied on the
same principle as the present coun
ty road tax and that men who
served in military companies would
be exempt. Payment of the tax
would not exempt men from mili
tary service in case of an emergency.
A constitutional amendment to place
the tax on the law books of the
. state would not be necessary, he as
serted. •
The tax reform measure of the
representative provides for the sep
aration of county and state tax
sources.

HOWARD CARTER RESUMES
EXCAVATIONS FOR KING TUT
Archaeologists Expect to
Penetrate Inner Tomb in
Fortnight—2,ooo Tons of
Earth to Be Moved
LUXOR, Egypt, Oct. 19.—(8y the
Associated Press.) —Preparations for
lifting the 2,000 tons of earth, stone
and wooden joists that now rest
over the tomb of Tutankhamen, are
proceeding apace. Howard Carter
and his American associates,
Messrs. Candler and Burton, have
re-established themselves in their
lonely concrete domiciles at the en
trance to the Valley of Kings, and
have made a preliminary survey of
the work that must be done before
the inner tomb believed to contain
the mummy of the Pharaoh can be
opened.
The archaeologists estimate that
at least a fortnight will be required
to clear away the vast heap, of rub
bish that now shields the king from
the outside world. It is possible
that a narrow gauge railway loaned
by the American archaeological mis
sion will be used to hasten the work.
Nearly 100 of the native excava
tors who helped Mr. Carter uncover
the tomb last summer have been
re-engaged at stipends which make
American union wages look like
fortunes.
Each digger is to receive 12 cents
a day with a slight bonus at the end
of the season if the Pharaoh’s body
is found within the sarcophagus.
Most of the laborers are boys of
from 10 to 18, but some of them
are grown men w r ho support two or
three wives on this slender remu
neration.
It is probable that Pharaoh Tut
ankhamen will be undisturbed for
many weeks, as the dismantling of
his multiple tabernacle of gold will
require the most painstaking labor
and skill. The delicate parts of the
outer and inner shells will have to
be treated chemically and the
utmost care taken to guard them
against breakage. In addition to
this, the entire wall shielding the
sepulchre from the other chambers
probably will have to be demolished
so as to permit the archaeologists
sufficient room in which to work.
Mr. Carter is still sanguine that
the body of the king will be revealed
just as it was buried. The fact that
the inner coffin is of stone precludes
the use of the X-ray in determining
what contains the mummy.

15,000,000 to Lose
Health Protection if
London Doctors’ Strike
LONDON, Oct. 19.—(8y Aie Asso
ciated Press.) —It is estimated that
15,000,000 contributors to the na
tional health fund will be affected
by the action of the “panel doctors’
union” in refusing to accept a re
duction in fees proposed by the min
ister of health. The physicians de
cided to strike on January 1 if the
cut in their stipend was ordered.
Meanwhile, the millions who are
insured under the national insurance
act will find their protection useless.
The disgruntled physicians, how
evter, are careful to announce that
they do not intend to let the public
suffer, and that they have already
drafted a plan for public medical
service which will meet the jit na
tion.
